I have Kopia running on a Linux server and also have Windows clients using the same repository as the server. If the Windows client on the same repository as the server has a failure it shows up in their Windows client local log environment as shown here in this image.

However I do not see it anywhere on any server side logs. It seems since it is ‘the server’ it ought to be able to detect if any failures occurred on snapshots to its repository. Does anyone know of a way for me to view client log information on the Linux server for Windows clients using the same repository ?

AFAIK logs are stored in repository itself. Explore `kopia logs list`/`kopia logs show` commands.

But I can imagine that in some situations they wont be complete - if there is problem writing to repo for example. Then you have [local files](https://kopia.io/docs/advanced/logging/#log-file-location) - no fancy access to those via UI nor cmd from server. Need some out of the kopia box DIY solution.
